System.out.print is overlapping the questions why?

My problem is when i run the program it runs all the System.out.print right but when i run it for the second student some of it overlaps like so:

"Enter the second student's name: Enter the student's score: "

instead of

"Enter the second students's name: "

"Enter the student's score: "

I also can not input data into the System.out.print method of the second student

My main 开发者_如何学Ccode where the error is:

System.out.print("Enter the first student's name: ");
name = reader.nextLine();
student1.setName(name);
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
    System.out.print("Enter the students's score: ");
    score = reader.nextInt();
    student1.setScore(i, score);
}

System.out.print("Enter the second student's name: "); //overlaps(stays on same line)
//also wont let me enter data here
name = reader.nextLine();
student2.setName(name);
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
    System.out.print("Enter the students's score: "); //program skips to here to input
//data
    score = reader.nextInt();
    student2.setScore(i, score);
}

the part that deals with the error from the class is as follows

public void setName(String nm){
    name = nm;
}

You should call println() to print a newline character, after reading the input.

---

If by "overlapping" you mean they appear on the same line then you want System.out.println, rather than System.out.print. println emits a trailing newline.

---

Could you more clearly describe this 'overlapping'? In your original question your 'one versus the other' were identical. Make it a code sample if need be to preserve spacing and such,

---

I believe you are talking about how all the lines are printed on the same line. You need to either use line break characters '\n' in Java, or use System.out.println

---

Try inserting:

reader.nextLine();

...before

System.out.print("Enter the second student's name: ");

.nextInt() doesn't swallow the newline from your input, so the next call to nextLine() just gets the newline character and returns you an empty string - and the program continues, printing the next line of output.

If what I understand is right, you may probaly have problems with the input of the java console. I can't tell much because there's not enough information, but maybe you can refer this link for getting input in java console: http://www.abbeyworkshop.com/howto/java/readLine/index.html

And I recommend clearing the un-affected code (about class Student), just check the input & output from console only.
